New Morning for the World

Nov 6, 2008
"There comes a time when people get tired." With those words, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. launched a remarkable speech that spelled out the road map to eventual victory in the struggle for civil rights. We hear Chicago composer Joseph Schwantner's inspirational symphonic tribute to Dr. King, New Morning for the World: Daybreak of Freedom, which includes excerpts from that famous speech, given just over 50 years ago.
